Light Writing Proposal

A while back I wrote about a Sweet Proposal where a guy got the gal over at Bakarella.com to help him propose to his girlfriend. I thought that was pretty clever.

Today I saw another cool proposal on Gizmodo where a guy used light writing to propose to his girlfriend.

How very very cool. Without understanding how long this would take and how much work would go into it, you might think “err, the guy proposed in a photo?”, but this is an extraordinarily unique and interesting way to propose! Well, in my opinion anyway, and luckily for me mine is the only opinion that matters in these here parts. You can see all the preparation and work that went into it on the video.

For more info on the proposal visit their website.

Oh and she said yes of course, wouldn’t you?!

If you would like more info on painting with light, check out the tutorial from Moosh in Indy posted a few days ago. I’m totally going to give this a go soon now that I have my new tripod!

A Sweet Proposal

I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport. I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes. When I got home I checked my RSS feed and saw the sweetest thing, it managed to make me smile even though I’m feeling so sad.

On Bakerella.com, one of my favorite (not to mention sinfully tempting) baking websites, a man contacted the blogger and asked for her help in proposing to his girlfriend. The blog entry starts like any other, with the recipe and instructions on how to make these darling wedding cake pops, but at the bottom it has the photo with the proposal. I gasped, I smiled, I cried and exclaimed loudly “HOW ROMANTIC!!!”. Yeah, I’m a little emotional at the moment, but better to cry over someone else’s happy day than my sad one.

I don’t know who Melissa is, but I read in the comments that she said YES!

Honestly, how could she not?!
